Blue violet assists with self-acceptance and discovery of the true self. It is calming and maternal, fostering self-love and balancing the ability to both receive and give of oneself. This powerful essence helps release negative self-beliefs and patterns. Use violet during periods of transition and self-discovery when self-confidence is needed. She is the champion of the “shrinking violets” and those who are highly sensitive or perceptive, bringing stillness and mindfulness. Violet is useful for any moment where resiliency, steadiness and strength of self are needed.
